SHOW OF THE WEEK - ISOBEL KNOWLES and CAT RABBIT

hot dogs

The amazing duo of Isobel Knowles and Cat Rabbit of Owl Know How fame have turned the attention to some serious stuff in their new show opening tonight at West Space. the plushies have gone a little political with an examination of the consumption of handmade, industrialisation in the face of market forces, designer pets, cruel farming methods - it's all there and it seems like a long way from the fluffy cloud world of the owls. How fantastic they have flexed their intellectual muscles in a different way. not better, mind you, just different. Cant wait to see what they've done. RAMONA
